Book reviews:
“A gripping account of an intriguing career. At one moment, Colin encounters cave-dwelling crocodiles in Madagascar; next, he is filming on stage with a rock’n’ roll legend. He also delves deeper with perceptive insight into serious human and geopolitical stories. His perspective on the art of cinematography, along with the nitty-gritty of what is involved behind the camera and his witty, light-hearted storytelling style, make for a very compelling read.”
Robert Swan OBE. Polar pioneer, author and environmental spokesperson
“It was my privilege to work with Colin Clarke in the late 1990s and early 2000s on two television documentary series that took us all over the world. Colin is brilliant at what he does, and in The Cameraman’s Cut, he offers unique insight into the craft, the joys, the ordeals, and the adventurous travels of documentary filmmaking. Highly recommended.”
